Rapper Drake was turned away by security at the Playhouse in Hollywood Wednesday night, apparently to avoid any possible incidents between the rapper and Chris Brown, who was already inside the club.TMZ reports that Brown was in the nightclub celebrating the launch of the Popular Demand clothing line. Drake showed up at around midnight, and club security knew that Rihanna would be joining him later, so they told him he might want to take the party somewhere else.

You may remember that Drake’s and Brown’s entourages got into a brawl last summer at the nightclub W.i. P. that nearly wrecked the place.

Drake left the club without incident.

February 16, 2013 - 5:00pm

I generally think of Vin Diesel as a manly man. You know, tough and stuff. Like he is in the Fast and the Furious. He’s bad ass on the level of Chuck Norris… Until now! Yep, he lost his man card singing Valentine’s Day karaoke. Personally, I think it’s kinda sweet:) The falsetto is pushing it though…

February 15, 2013 - 8:38pm

Today (Feb. 15), a meteorite crashed into Russia. Several Russians caught the unbelievable scene on camera, but the real wonder comes from the Internet’s quick and predictable response to the cosmic event: it created meteorite memes. Here are some of our favorites.

'The Host' Featurette: Stephenie Meyer's Post-Apocalyptic Love Story

February 15, 2013 - 7:30pm
Open Road Films

We’re at an interesting crossroads for the new wave of young adult literature being adapted for the big screen. Sure, films like ‘Twilight‘ or ‘The Hunger Games‘ have shown that there is a sizable audience for these films, but yesterday’s poor opening day showing of ‘Beautiful Creatures‘ suggests that it takes more than just a series of modestly popular books to net a big screen audience. Perhaps author Stephenie Meyer will be enough to get people into the adaptation of her book ‘The Host‘ and here’s a new featurette with the author talking about the film.

The film looks familiar in that there’s a post-apocalyptic setting, and a love story about a young man (Max Irons) and woman (Saoirse Ronan) who were deeply in love and then separated, but the twist is that she’s been possessed by an alien spirit, yet part of the old person remains. That’s not a bad idea all things considered, but it’s likely to get the Romeo and Juliet treatment here.

The film comes out March 29, and then we’ll be getting ‘The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones‘ in August. There are a number of the sorts of films in the works, but we also saw similar off-brand product hit after ‘Harry Potter’ and ‘Twilight’ first showed up, so who’s to say if any of it will click with audiences. Here’s that featurette:

Looking for something to do this weekend in the SBC? Need some adult entertainment? This weekend is the closing weekend of the Stage Center’s production of Avenue Q. It’s been called “a very R-rated version of ‘Sesame Street”. I can agree with that. See some footage and pics and find out ticket info here!

This video is from the Broadway version of the show. The version we put on WAY better.

I play the Character named Bryan. My character is eerily close to me. Same age, enjoys making people laugh, engaged about to be married. Kinda creeps me out, but it makes getting into character easier.

Ticket prices are $15 for adults, and $10 for students (with id)

Show times:
Tonight (Friday 2/15) at 7:30 (doors open at 7:00)
Tomorrow (Sat 2/16) at 7:00p (doors open at 6:30)
Sunday 2/17 at 3:00p (doors open at 2:30)

Are you down for some laughs and good times?

February 15, 2013 - 11:59am

I’m getting married on June 21st. Holly my fiance is keeping me in the loop about what’s going on. I smile and say “Wow, that sounds great!” a lot.

You say: Fondant.
They hear: Fondue.

They hear: Fabulous.

Russian Dash Cam Captures Meteorite Entering Earth's Atmosphere

February 15, 2013 - 10:13am

Turn your speakers down! If you haven’t heard, there’s a 150 foot asteroid that’s coming close to planet earth. According to the entire internet, a meteor hit Russia on Friday (Feb. 15). Around 950 folks were injured.

According to Rt.com:

Around 950 people have sought medical attention in Chelyabinsk alone because of the disaster, the region’s governor Mikhail Yurevich told RIA Novosti. Over 110 of them have been hospitalized and two of them are in heavy condition. Among the injured there are 159 children, Emergency ministry reported.

Army units found three meteorite debris impact sites, two of which are in an area near Chebarkul Lake, west of Chelyabinsk. The third site was found some 80 kilometers further to the northwest, near the town of Zlatoust. One of the fragments that struck near Chebarkul left a crater six meters in diameter.

Here are two videos and some pictures of the destruction.

JWoww + Snooki's Valentine's Day Advice for Single Girls: 'Go Out and Get Wasted'

February 14, 2013 - 5:40pm

Former ‘Jersey Shore‘ participants Snooki and JWoww have some healthy advice for all the single ladies on Valentine’s Day: Get over yourself and then get wasted. Which is pretty much the type of advice you’d expect them to dig from the depths of their breast implants hearts.

“I can’t stand girls who are like crying home alone eating chocolate. Get over it and go have fun,” JWoww suggested, with Snooki adding in the oh-so-helpful, “Go out and get wasted with your girlfriends. Just have fun.”

Depressed? Fix that right up with some liquid depressants! That’ll solve everything. Trust them, they’ve been there and look where they are now. Turning 60 and looking good, that’s where.

While the two ladies are currently engaged (not to each other but we’re surprised MTV didn’t pull that stunt), that doesn’t mean they don’t have horror stories from Valentine’s Days past.

Said JWoww, “I got dumped on Valentine’s Day about six years ago. He had two girlfriends, so he didn’t want to buy two gifts.”

“What do you expect from a juicehead? I bet he’s kicking himself now. Loser,” Snooki retorted.

Their advice may not seem very sound, but hey, if anyone knows what a holiday abbreviated “VD” is all about, it’s these two.

Oh, and Will Ferrell was there, too, but not just as a spectator. Ferrell sported one of the well-known red jackets worn by Lakers security as he kept a watchful eye on the assembled crowd. Think he might have missed his calling?
